Victor Davis Hanson Victor Davis Hanson critiques the decline of Barack Obama's influence, linking him to the Biden administration's failures and the Democratic Party's 2024 electoral losses, marking a shift in political dynamics.
But by the time Harris lost the election, voters had tuned out a nagging and patronizing Obama — and his stale, now-dated hope-and-changey boilerplate speeches.
"Former President Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Joe Biden nomination – and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years.
"As such he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American history.
"Recall earlier that after a flailing candidate Biden lost the first three 2020 primaries and caucuses, his inert campaign was headed nowhere.
"Obama and fellow Democratic insiders abruptly engineered the withdrawal of his rival 2020 presidential candidates: hard left but likely sure-loser candidates, including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Pete Buttigieg.
"The Obamas ignored or withheld from the public their own firsthand knowledge that Biden was suffering from signs of dementia.
"Instead, they found Biden's cognitive decline and his former concocted reputation as workingman's Joe useful as a veneer for a veritable Obama third-term, "phone it in" administration. Or as wistful Obama once conditioned his dream of a third term – "If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in."
"The Obamaites then got their wish for four years of enacted hard-left directives that they could only have dreamed of while in actual power." . . .
